Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Calcott
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. We’re often asked to cater open days and family days and long-service celebrations, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and salads.
Rural businesses around Calcott can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why choose a hog roast in Calcott?
Next to a plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Serving and clearing done for you
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Looking after everyone
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
